What happened

Illco Toy Company is voluntarily recalling Walt Disney Mickey Mouse Baby Play Gyms (model no. 8722) due to a choking hazard. The freestanding activity centers, which sold for about $17.00 in 1987, contain buckles and loops on straps that may come loose from the toys and rattle attached to them. The recall applies only to gyms with plastic straps or unstitched fabric straps; gyms with fabric straps stitched in two locations are not affected. Parents have reported buckles detaching, and CPSC testing confirmed that buckles may also loosen from plastic straps. Additionally, the mirrored rattle may break into small pieces if it comes off the strap.

Consumers who have a gym set with plastic or unstitched fabric straps should immediately remove the toys and rattle away from infants and toddlers. According to the record, affected consumers should request replacement straps, buckles, and rattles by writing to Illco Toy Company's Consumer Service Department at 200 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10010.

November 17, 1988 Release # 88-098 Toy Firm Recalls Disney Baby Play Gyms WASHINGTON - Illco Toy Company, USA, Inc., of New York is voluntarily recalling some of its "Walt Disney Mickey Mouse Baby Play Gyms" because buckles and loops may dislodge from the straps and, along with an attached rattle, may present a choking hazard to young children. This recall applies only to gyms with plastic or unstitched fabric straps. Gyms having fabric straps that are stitched in two locations are not being recalled. The freestanding activity center for infants, gym no. 8722, has four tubular-shaped supports and a crossbar with three fabric or plastic straps suspended from the crossbar. Each strap holds a toy, namely Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and a disc-shaped baby rattle with a mirror on one side. The baby gym sold nationally for about $17.00 in 1987. Illco and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said some parents have complained about buckles coming off unstitched fabric straps on gym sets. CPSC tests have shown that buckles may also come loose from plastic straps. The buckles and loops of the gym are small enough to be ingested by an infant. In addition, the mirrored rattle may break into small parts and may present a potential choking hazard if it comes off the strap. Consumers having a gym set with plastic or unstitched fabric straps holding the figures and rattle to the crossbar should immediately take the toys away from infants and toddlers and request replacement straps, buckles, and rattles by writing to the Consumer Service Department, Illco Toy Company, 200 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10010
